NFT animated crossfade between these variations at https://www.hicetnunc.xyz/objkt/70033

Perhaps folk art-like stylized binary star and background stars, in 8 color variants. This animation slowly crossfades aesthetic pairs. Created in ArtRage, composited and with color variations made in Photoshop. Watercolor and batik-like effects via Filter Forge. Variants are original fire-colored stars, sepia/chocolatey, oceanic (deep blue), gray light on dark and dark on light, dark rose, medium vibrant rose, and light dirty green.

My custom Filter Forge filter that helped make this image is incredibly inefficient, so I publish it only at a folder in a git repo (link).

I'm using it as an alpha mask in art I'm updating. I give the image to the public domain. Original (see pub. source -> open from thumbnail) is blown up to 3442 x 1936 pixels.

See http://s.earthbound.io/4i for original, print and usage. ~ Software used: 3DS Max (to render Work 00059 perpendicular to the normal of 3D noise terrain), Dynamic Auto-Painter Klimt3 preset, Photoshop, FilterForge. This variant was hue-shifted and further worked up from the base work. ~ A hoity-toity robot talks about this at http://s.earthbound.io/artgib

Created by mapping art to the Z axis of a 3D noise map (terrain heightmap), viewed top down, then working up the result in Dynamic AutoPainter Klimt preset, then hue shifting in Lab colorspace in photoshop, and maybe other tricks (my notes say FilterForge?). Former title: 00061 abstraction, and maybe other things. I gave up on numbering works–keeping it straight in my many source files is a technical feat beyond me.
